If you want to win more prizes, you have to find more giveaways. One way I do this is through various sweepstakes directories. If you only have a fixed amount of time, you can either go through what's new "today" or what's ending today and enter as many as you can. You can also search for specific prizes, or set reminders for daily giveaways to be sure you get in all your entries.One place I do this at is Sweepstakes Advantage. I've been a member over there for like forever, where many years ago I was also an admin, keeping the place under control. You can share your wins, swap your prizes, and ask for votes, all in the sense of community. Be sure to check them out if you haven't already. Basic access to directory and forum is free but if you signup, you'll have access to their member only sweeps, too.

Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) is

Fabulous Hudson Hornet and a few unexpected turns. Proving that #95 isn’t through yet will test the heart of a
champion on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage!

Unbeknownst to some, one can possibly do a surprising amount of analysis on huge data sets with Microsoft Excel without using other complex software. Microsoft Excel is such a powerful tool; nobody has ever learned everything about it. There are always new things you can discover.

Most statistical professionals and data analysts are often confronted with huge, unclear, or complex data, which becomes nearly impossible to analyze. One example of this is if a certain business has a spreadsheet containing millions of transactions, consuming large storage space. This issue can be very challenging to a business as it is important to clarify data and come up with a meaningful result.

Here are five helpful tips for using Excel for working with huge datasets that will surely make your life easier.

I've been spending a few days this week at the Red Hat Summit conference in Boston. It is a highly technical conference that is probably of little interest to most of the readers here. Having said that, many of us have gone to various conferences for work. What I'm sharing here is my strategy for getting free stuff at the conference and winning any of the giveaways available. Hopefully, it will help you in planning your next conference outing in getting only the best swag available and having a chance at winning the various giveaways.I'm local to the Red Hat conference and able to carry any goodies home with me each day. If you're going to an out-of-town multi-day conference you may need to bring some extra luggage. Another option if you get too much swag is to just ship it home. However, if the goal is to get stuff free, having to pay for shipping or extra luggage might defeat the purpose. Plan accordingly and don't be afraid to leave some of the lesser goodies behind for the hotel cleaning crew. They may welcome the items or will just throw them out (or donate them) if they don't want them.

Take a quiz about cleaning gutters and falling off ladders and you can win a $500 gift card. To where? I don't know. Rules do not state where you must be from to enter either, only that you must be 13+. Contest closes on 5/15. Good luck.

There are so many things you can do with your GoPro camera. You can shoot in the mountains and even underwater. You can even mount it on a stick, on a helmet, or attach it on a drone. The possibilities are endless. And for those looking into expanding their camera's potential to greater heights, getting a drone for aerial photography is a must.
